Cybersecurity is not just about defense; it is about protecting profits. Organizations without modern threat intelligence (TI) face escalating breach costs, wasted resources, and operational inefficiencies that hit the bottom line.
Actionable intel can help businesses cut costs, optimize workflows, and neutralize risks before they escalate.
Security operations centers (SOCs) suffer from inefficiency and burnout without high-fidelity TI. Analysts manually sift through thousands of alerts, many of which are false positives, wasting time and budgets while overlooking real threats.
This reactive chaos leads to high turnover, with false positives costing enterprises up to $1.3 million annually in labor alone, and burnout making staff twice as likely to seek new jobs.
Undetected threats turn into financial disasters, exploiting visibility gaps and slow responses. Generic TI feeds often miss evasive attacks, allowing breaches to cause downtime, fines, and lost trust.
The global average breach cost in 2025 is $4.44 million, with U.S. organizations facing $10.22 million, while nearly one in five small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) could close after a successful attack.
Compliance gaps invite fines and legal risks, as regulators demand proactive threat documentation. Without real-time TI, audits reveal shortcomings, triggering penalties like GDPR’s up to 4% of global revenue or €20 million, and HIPAA violations exceeding $1.5 million per incident.
Five Strategies for Cost Savings with Threat Intelligence
TI prevents breaches early through feeds providing real-time data on indicators of compromise (IOCs). ANY.RUN’s Threat Intelligence Feeds deliver actionable intel from over 15,000 SOC investigations, blocking threats at the source and avoiding multimillion-dollar recoveries.
Preventing Breaches Proactively
Threat intelligence (TI) stops breaches early by delivering real-time IOC feeds that integrate with firewalls and EDR tools for automated blocking of threats like malicious domains.
Platforms such as ANY.RUN provides 24 times more IOCs from global SOC data, enabling quick risk isolation and reducing breach likelihood by up to 70% through predictive attacker insights.
Eliminating False Positive Waste
TI filters alerts by enriching them with context on threat actors and TTPs, cutting investigation time on benign events and alleviating alert fatigue that wastes 30% of analyst hours.
ANY.RUN’s TI Lookup prioritizes high-risk threats via SIEM integrations, saving up to 50% in labor by focusing teams on verified dangers rather than noise.
Cutting Labor Costs Through Automated Triage
Automated TI triage uses APIs to connect with SOAR and EDR, providing instant sandbox context to reduce manual escalations and empower junior analysts.
ANY.RUN’s SDK automates artifact enrichment, minimizing turnover and overtime while boosting SOC capacity by 20-30% without additional hires.
Accelerating Response to Limit Damage
TI speeds incident response with full attack visibility from single IOCs, shortening MTTR by 40-60% through sandbox reports on malware behaviors.
ANY.RUN’s feeds link to detailed analyses, enabling precise containment that cuts downtime costs—up to $100,000 per hour—and prevents revenue loss from prolonged incidents.
Maintaining Up-to-Date Defenses Effortlessly
Continuous TI updates deliver real-time, 99% unique IOCs with MITRE ATT&CK mappings, automating adaptations to evolving threats like ransomware without manual effort.
ANY.RUN’s query notifications keep defenses proactive, reducing breach risks by 50% and avoiding costs from outdated static feeds.
It eliminates false positive waste by filtering alerts for verified threats. ANY.RUN’s solutions cut noise, saving hours on triage and redirecting budgets to high-impact tasks, reducing alert fatigue that plagues teams.
Automated triage lowers labor costs via seamless integrations. ANY.RUN’s API and SDK connect with SIEM, SOAR, and EDR tools, enriching alerts instantly and minimizing escalations, thus avoiding overtime and hiring needs.
Faster responses minimize fallout, with TI providing full attack context from sandbox analyses. ANY.RUN’s TI Lookup offers instant IOC enrichment, shortening mean time to respond (MTTR) and limiting downtime losses.
Continuous updates future-proof defenses without manual effort. ANY.RUN’s feeds refresh in real time with 99% unique IOCs, integrating MITRE ATT&CK mappings to adapt to evolving threats proactively.
An international transport firm battled phishing and malware by adopting ANY.RUN’s TI Lookup for automated tracking of geo-targeted threats and CVEs.
Custom queries and real-time updates enabled quick rule creation, slashing manual research and boosting detection speed. The result: blocked attacks preemptively, optimized resources, and enhanced proactive defenses against shifting attacker tactics.
Threat intelligence like ANY.RUN’s TI Feeds and Lookup transforms security from a cost center into a profit protector.
